Baby names

[Loddfafner]

Why do so many of the more palatable Anglo-Saxon names evoke pimply teenagers with broken glasses held together with office supplies?

FRIDESWIDE

Gender: Feminine

Usage: History
Modern form of the Old English name Friðuswiþ, formed of the elements frið "peace" and swiþ "strong". Saint Frideswide was an 8th-century English princess who became a nun. She is credited with establishing Christ Church in Oxford.

Anybody willing?

Osweo, continuing from your idea of updating the form of Old English names, what do you think of Ashwin?

Funny how our names have survived and thrived in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking cultures, but not so much in our own.

Norman invasion + fall of Saints' cults.
And the Visigoths generally 'kicked arse' too.

Xenophilic leftist domination of the media with in-built bias against patriarchal traditional Germanic culture.

By the way, Imperivm, you mentioned you were going to be an uncle. Congratulations. But are you actually getting a shot at naming your niece/nephew? I would assume the mother and father had a list of names already themselves.

Where's the 'twitching eye' smilie?
Denby... Why not Ingleborough?!



They're not NAMES!!!!!!!!!!!

East Yorkshire was called variously DEIra, Dere, Deur...

The old form of modern 'dear' was diere

.. Who says?

The internet lied to me again... I didn't even notice the e and i where the wrong way round either.

[Imperivm]

If the baby has your characteristics why not a mediteranean name something like Enrico, or Sophia?

cheeky

Yes I will get a shot, she is my sister.

Not all parents have definite plans, I got to name my little brother just because my mom liked my name idea best.

They aren´t so common.Swedish names, why should they be very common in here.

Again you are trolling. I have friends who's names are Erlend, Erling and Ingvar. I actually thought about recommending Erling too, but I do not think that it's a nice name.

Scandinavian names have been for a very long time, thus saying that they're not common is just false.

Kalevipoja ema nimi, meie rahvuseeposes, on Linda jne.

My name is Karl, which is an old Scandinavian name and there are many more examples.

You can put a "=" between Swedish/Scandinavian, German/Germanic names and Estonian names. If a name has existed among our people for 500 years, 1000 years or more, then it's an Estonian name.

Just like the name Mihkel(it is derived from Michael), it's an Estonian name, but it's from the bible thus from the Middle-East.

You are trolling yourself!! I agree that Karl IS a common name but Erlend and Ingvar aren´t common Estonian names!These names like Erlend and Ingvar aren´t so widespread, can you understand it my wannabe Swede?
Erlend and Ingvar are common, widespread names in Estonia??Erling???-as an Estonian name?Maybe those names were common among your relatives, because you are Swede but me as an ordinary Estonian, I have never heard such a name!Whom are you trying to bullshit?Me?

I do not deny that we have very many names of Germanic origin but most of our (Estonian) names of Germanic origin come from Germans not from Scandinavians!You can not change this fact.:nono:
My greatgrandfather was also Karl and greatgreatgrandfather but they didn´t get their names because of viking influences but from German landowners.Seems that you know nothing about Estonian history.
Your wannabe Scandinavism is out of your control.
